An annular diaphragm DD, with angles αο/2 = 1 deg and αmax/2 = 12 deg is placed in an imagefocal plane of the lens L2.

The non-transparent central part of the diaphragm is necessary in order to eliminate the lightarriving directly from the light source. It shall be possible to remove the central part of thediaphragm from the light beam in such a manner that it returns exactly to its original position.

The distance L2 Dτ and the focal length F2 of the lens L2 shall be so chosen that the image ofDτ completely covers the receiver R.

For L2 it is recommended to use a focal distance of about 80 mm.

When the initial incident flux is referred to 1 the absolute precision of each reading shall bebetter than 0.001.

PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENT PROVISIONS

1. General provisions

1.1. The system or part(s) thereof shall be mounted on a goniometer with a fixed horizontalaxis and moveable axis perpendicular to the fixed horizontal axis.

1.2. The illuminance values shall be determined by means of a photoreceptor containedwithin a square of 65 mm side and set up to a distance of at least 25 m forward of thecentre of reference of each lighting unit perpendicular to the measurement axis from theorigin of the goniometer;

1.3. During photometric measurements, stray reflections should be avoided by appropriatemasking.

1.4. The luminous intensities are measured and specified in form of illuminance valuesperpendicular to the direction of measurement, and, for a nominal distance of 25 m.

1.5. The angular co-ordinates are specified in deg on a sphere with a vertical polar axisaccording to CIE publication No. 70, Vienna 1987, i.e. corresponding to a goniometerwith a horizontal ("elevation") axis fixed to the ground and a second, moveable("rotation") axis perpendicular to the fixed horizontal axis.

1.6. Any equivalent photometric method is acceptable, if the accordingly applicablecorrelation is observed.

1.7. Any offset of the centre of reference of each lighting unit, with respect to the goniometerrotation axes, should be avoided. This applies especially to the vertical direction and tolighting units producing a "cut-off".

An aiming screen shall be used and may be located at a shorter distance than that of thephotoreceptor.

1.8. The photometric requirements for each single measuring point (angular position) of alighting function or mode as specified in this Regulation apply to half of the sum of therespective measured values from all lighting units of the system applied for this functionor mode, or, from all lighting units as indicated in the respective requirement;

1.8.1. however in those cases where a provision is specified for one side only, the division bythe factor of 2 does not apply. These cases are: paragraphs 6.2.9.1., 6.3.2.1.2., 6.3.2.1.3.,6.4.1., 6.4.2., 6.4.6., note 4 of Table 1 of Annex 3, and paragraph 3.2. of Annex 8.

1.9. The lighting units of the system shall be measured individually;

however, simultaneous measurements may be performed on two or more lighting units ofan installation unit, being equipped with the same light source types with respect to theirpower supply (either power controlled or not), if they are sized and situated such, thattheir illuminating surfaces are completely contained in a rectangle of not more than

2. Measurement conditions with respect to light sources

2.1. In the case of replaceable filament lamps operated directly under vehicle voltage systemconditions:

The system or parts thereof shall be checked by means of an uncoloured standard (étalon)filament lamp(s) designed for a rated voltage of 12 V. During checking of the system orpart of, the voltage at the terminals of the filament lamp(s) shall be regulated so as toobtain the reference luminous flux as indicated at the relevant data sheet of RegulationNo. 37.

The system or parts thereof shall be considered acceptable if the requirements of theparagraph 6. of this Regulation are met with at least one standard (étalon) filament lamp,which may be submitted with the system.

In this case, the measured photometric values shall be corrected accordingly. They shallbe multiplied by a factor of 0.7 prior to the check for compliance.

2.3. In the case of a non-replaceable light source operating directly under vehicle voltagesystem conditions:

All measurements on lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lampsand other) shall be made at 6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V, or at a voltage as specified by theApplicant with respect to any other vehicle voltage system. The measured photometricvalues shall be multiplied by a factor of 0.7 prior to the check for compliance.

2.4. In the case of a light source, replaceable or non-replaceable, which is operatedindependently from vehicle supply voltage and fully controlled by the system, or in thecase of a light source supplied by a special power supply, the test voltage as specified inparagraph 2.3. above shall be applied to the input terminals of that power supply. The testlaboratory may require from the manufacturer this special power supply needed to supplythe light sources.

TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2002/18/Rev.1page 64, 08.December 2003Annex 9
